From 2-D Images to 3-D Models

Any intelligent agent, be it robot or human, needs to continually update its knowledge about the surrounding environment, and images offer a rich source of relevant information. Unfortunately, however, in normal two-dimensional images the effects of viewing geometry, illumination, surface reflectance, and object shape are confounded together in a way that makes it very difficult to extract interesting information about the surrounding scene.
